Nature World: How vulnerable a nation is to climate change will severely influence its international credit score, the Standard & Poor's (S&P) Rating Service reports. The S&P says that how well a sovereign state can endure the effects of climate change can directly impact that nation's creditworthiness, Reuters reported.

And right now, Rubio doesn't want to take too much action. In the wake of a new White House report on climate change that paints a bleak picture for his home county, his state, the nation and the planet, Rubio...
